...then your example is flawed -wofahulicodoc

Flawed wofahulicodoc?, yes, don't tell, but sometimes I suspect that I am too.

I agree, visually the poemform diagrams more like a two-pronged frog gig than a trident but most folk find it unpleasant to dwell on the bloody process of gigging a frog. Unless maybe you say it fast in french ~fru ge'wah.

But alas I know of but one other entity that has two prongs and that is my coon dog named WhitmanOneil (irony upon insult, our own WhitmanOneil has a collie dog named Milo, go figger.) but no matter, a two-pronged coon dog seems hardly a proper association for a genre of literary poems.

On the other hand the point of the poemform is to have three semantical points like a trident. If we adopt your schema then the poem would have to have four points and then (sigh) we would have to call it a pitchfork.

Thank you wofahulicodoc, for the instructions on how to affix things to certain points on a page. I will try it here for the first time to see if it works...

No No don't tell me. If I learn it on my own it will be a tool I can use for the rest of my life.

Thanks again, wofahulicodoc. - milo.

PS: What does "but omit the spaces" mean?
